Forecasts

Landsman (6/4), Sharjah (7/2), Enzani (4/1), Political Policy (9/2), King Of Aran (16/1), Specific Gravity (25/1)

This should really be between Landsman, sixth of 14, beaten 5L in 12f Curragh handicap at the end of last month, Political Policy, exploited low handicap mark when winning 1m5f Navan last week and SHARJAH, who can possibly make all under Killian Leonard.
